What is the possibility of bias entering the study? If the study is susceptible to bias, state and explain the type of bias that may enter the study and what steps can be incorporated to minimize the entry of bias.
Almost nonexistent. The reason why is because the two methods will allow for the general trends to be evaluated. As a result, this makes it difficult for the bias of researchers to effect the outcome (because there are too many working parts of the study).
Based on your hypothesis/proposal, how will the proposed generated results help to develop an effective health policy for the target population of your chosen topic?
This hypothesis will help improve upon the results from the study: Associations between Diet and Cancer. Where, the dependent and independent variables will allow researchers to understand why this trend is occurring. Once this takes place, it can help to establish effective strategies for intelligently addressing the problem, versus telling everyone that they need to change their lifestyle (which is not working).
Section 2
What is the hypothesis? What study design will be used to test the hypothesis?
The second hypothesis is people who add natural supplements to their diet, will significantly reduce the chances of developing heart disease. For this study we will be using qualitative research.
What population will serve as the participants? How will the participants be recruited? What will be the inclusion/exclusion criteria for inclusion/exclusion from the study?
The population sample will be subdivided into two different groups: those individuals who are taking dietary supplements on a regular basis and those who are not. Participants will be recruited by visiting various health clinics and hospitals. The inclusion criteria will be to see if there are specific benefits for select population demographics based on: age, sex or ethnic groups.
What will be the methodology used to test the hypothesis?
The scientific methodology will be used to conduct the initial study. We will then compare the results with the findings from: Heart Disease Natural Treatment with Herbs, Vitamins and Supplements with 5 Supplements You Need Now.
What is the possibility of bias entering the study?...
The reason why, is because the use of the two different methods, would prevent the opinions of the individual from influencing the results.
Based on your hypothesis/proposal, how will the proposed generated results help to develop an effective health policy for the target population of your chosen topic?
The results from the study we are working on will provide greater understandings, as to how natural supplements could help to reduce the underlying causes of heart disease. As a result, this could highlight key distinctions that may reduce the chances of it becoming worse (such as: taking a dietary supplement once a day to help naturally reduce cholesterol levels.)
Clearly, the two hypothesis and studies will help to provide specific reasons why select groups of the population are not suffering from heart disease. As they will corroborate and provide new answers, in helping us understand why this counter trend is occurring in select groups of the population such as: Seventh Day Adventists.

Heart Disease and the Elderly The objective of this work in writing is to examine how heart disease takes a toll elderly. Toward this end, this work will conduct a review of literature that examines the toll that heart disease takes on the elderly population. Approximately 18 million people or 7% of all individuals in the United States have heart disease. Heart disease affects older people more significantly as the elderly are
For example, some prescription drugs have been shown to increase risk for heart disease (Fries, nd). In particular, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are commonly prescribed for relieving the pain associated with arthritis, have been shown to cause heart-related side effects (Fries, nd). Unfortunately, patients who suffer from chronic pain sometimes need to choose between increasing their risk for heart disease and coping with severe chronic pain. Interestingly, though,
Heart Disease (CAD: Coronary Artery Disease) Online web site HeartPoint defines Coronary Artery Disease as Coronary artery disease generally refers to the buildup of cholesterol in the inside layers of the arteries. As shown here, this will slowly narrow the flow of blood through the vessel, and the muscle it supplies will not get enough blood. The plaque weakens the wall. As shown in the lower artery, a crack may develop
In fact, dietary lipids, serum cholesterol, and sodium are linked directly with heart disease. Diets high in sodium lead to hypertension, or high blood pressure, which is also linked with the malady. Thus, a decrease in the amount of saturated fat and cholesterol for all people, as well as limiting the amounts of total fat, processed sugars, and calories for those who are overweight, is recommended for preventing the
Macabasco-O'Connell et.al say that the stress levels for women in this group is oftentimes higher than non-minority women in higher socioeconomic groups. The high amount of stress that these women experience is usually accompanied with depression and studies have shown that depression can also lead to a greater risk of heart disease (2, 3). Because many women from lower socio-economic statuses are uninsured or underinsured, they run the risk
, 2002). A body mass index was also taken. Participants were then followed for eight years to track the incidence of myocardial infarction and death. Conclusions of the Study Results of this study demonstrated an incidence of 4.3% of myocardial infarctions of the total participants seven of which resulted in death (Malaviarachchi et al., 2002). There was no relationship between high intake of iron and hemeiron and increased risk for myocardial infarction
